late nite salad fusion: papaya meets wedge...

the jazz panther and i recently found ourselves at an undisclosed thai bar with a late nite menu. given little in choice in the vegetarian department, we decided to give their papaya salad a try.

apparently, they've chosen to model their version after the wedge salad, replacing the traditional chunk of iceburg lettuce with a mountainous, full 1/3 of a head of green cabbage, which towered over a kind of gradient marsh of shredded papaya and carrot. 

it wasn't that bad...plus we were asking for it...i found that drinking helped.


the best part of the experience was an extra smooth lounge set by a young woman with a keyboard, which eventually transformed into an equally soothing karaoke performance by two young men.


i felt that the flash from my camera could've been easily misinterpreted as an ill-spirited move, so i opted for illustrating the dish.
